Are ASP Applications Right for You? Part 2: Decision Criteria
Miles Szczurek 8/24/2001 12:00:00 AM
Whether an application is best implemented as an ASP provided application or service, built in-house or purchased, generally depends on the same criteria as what would be used for outsourcing a function or process. This part details that criteria.

Are ASP Applications Right for You? Part 1: Decision Factors
Miles Szczurek 8/22/2001 12:00:00 AM
Like so many Internet conventions, the Application Service Provider (ASP), is really a combination of two 'old' concepts, turn key applications and outsourced services. Many of the lessons learned from these areas are directly applicable to ASP provided applications, and many of the same questions need to be asked and answered before a determination can be made on whether an ASP application should be considered.

A Case Study and Tutorial in Using IT Knowledge Based Tools Part 2: A Tutorial
E. Robins 5/31/2001 12:00:00 AM
This tutorial, part 2 of a two part series on Knowledge Based Selection, demonstrates the selection processes and capabilities of Knowledge Based Selection Methods and Tools. These tools, integrated with business decision making procedures, can arguably reduce selection risk and improve chances for success in IT projects. Given the appalling rate of IT project failures, selection can potentially help reduce risk in some 30% of cases, with an associated estimated cost of about $30B annually to industry according to some sources. In this tutorial, we illustrate a number of the procedures for rapid decision processing through the real-life selection of a PDA device. The process gave confidence to the argument to wait for the solution, while weighing risk against return.

A Case Study and Tutorial in Using IT Knowledge Based Tools Part 1: Decision Support Discussion
E. Robins 5/30/2001 12:00:00 AM
In going through a business decision process for complex technology selections, more and more use is being made of technologically driven processes using Decision support tools and captured knowledge. The use of these systems and the capability to drive a solution from them assumes an ability to accurately express business requirements and business value within these tools. In this article, we explore the marriage of knowledge management and decision support in forming knowledge based selection systems and procedures that can assist in reducing the current appalling record of IT project failures. This is illustrated by the process to select a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

Small ERP Vendors Missing The ASP Boat
B. Spencer,P.J. Jakovljevic 2/22/2001 12:00:00 AM
Our experience from conducting dozens of ERP software selection engagements recently teaches us that some number of smaller enterprises, first-time ERP buyers, opt for an ASP. Surprising, however was that an even more significant number of incumbent mid-market vendors by not addressing this trend have been handing over a big opportunity to their bigger brethren.

C. Lisle 2/9/2001 12:00:00 AM
In May 2000, TEC reviewed the web site for ASPORA, an ASP aimed at the Legal Community and found it wanting in substance. This is a revisit to that web site at the company’s invitation.
